Closes #2590.

Some notes:

  1. This does not influence reporting of contribution statistics in any way; it just prevents certain commits from appearing in the individual lines of git blame.
  2. It does not prevent commits from appearing in the history of commits influencing any given file on GitHub.
  3. As noted in Use .git-blame-ignore-revs to ignore mass copyright commit and other formatting commits #2590, this should be utilised in Port from C++11 to C++17 #2585 to prevent the exploitation of nested namespaces from swamping git blame.
